ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Yoga isn’t just a physical exercise program.  It is also a system designed to generate greater clarity and harmony in your life.
    When you practice yoga, you will find that you are more patient, mentally sharper, and better able to handle stressful
    situations.

    Many health/fitness programs are difficult to maintain because they are rooted in an overall negative attitude – that you are
    inadequate and need to ‘fix’ yourself.  No wonder we want to quit!  Negativity is a poor motivator. Yoga, on the other hand,
    meets you exactly where you are and does not judge.  By practicing yoga you have the opportunity to gain greater health,
    flexibility and strength through powerful, positive means.  Allow yourself to be healthy by honoring yourself, not forcing
    yourself.   ~Yoga Health Foundation

    BLOOM! Yoga was established to celebrate life by uniting mind,
    body and spirit through the tradition and practice of authentic
    yoga.  Personal attention, class variety, and our beautiful,
    healing environment make your yoga experience complete.  Our
    Pranakriya style classes are infused with compassion,
    encouragement and acceptance.  All instructors are certified and
    lead classes to fit many needs.  Anyone, at any age, in any body
    can practice yoga to gain numerous health benefits, such as:


  •    Greater strength and flexibility, physically and mentally
  •    Lower blood pressure and cholesterol
  •    Reduced stress and improved concentration
  •    Better posture
  •    Improved circulation and respiration
  •    Better balance and body awareness
  •    Weight loss
  •    Deeper peace of mind through the practices of relaxation and
            meditation  


    Our bodies remember everything.  They hold onto  negative
    emotions such as anxiety, anger, and grief. Yoga and Meditation
    work together to relieve this stress and tension which leads to a
    healthier body and mind and therefore a happier, more joyful life.

    Discover how quickly you can open to life with a regular yoga
    practice!  All props are provided: mats, blocks, straps, blankets
    and  bolsters to make your experience as comfortable and
    effective as possible.  We invite you to join us in our friendly and
    welcoming space.  Allow yourself to let go, be yourself and make
    new friendships.  Feed your Self and Spirit and  reconnect to who
    you really are through the practices of yoga and meditation!
